Abstract (en)

An in-band group delay equalizer is formed in a simple circuit configuration so as to have a flat group delay characteristic over a wide frequency band without having a peak of group delay near each passband edge. The in-band group delay equalizer includes a plurality of convex group delay circuits. Each convex group delay circuit is formed of one hybrid coupler and two resonators connected to respective divided output ports of the hybrid coupler. The center frequencies of the respective convex group delay circuits are set to be different from each other so that the overall group delay characteristic of the in-band group delay equalizer becomes flat. The bandwidth and the group delay can be easily adjusted. A distortion compensation amplifier with very low distortion can be realized using such an in-band group delay equalizer <IMAGE>
